LAWRENCE, KAN., OCT. 6, 1900
The Daily Cardinal from Madison, Wisconsin, has just reached us. It ranks with the Minnesota Daily, which is to say they are both unusually good [college papers].
The Midland from Atchison compliments the WEEKLY on the matter it contains but remarks that all Kansas would be proud if it were printed on better paper. This may be true but the Midland must not forget that the WEEKLY appears four times as often as most college papers while the subscription rate is only one-half the usual rate.
The loss of Mr. O. E. McMeans as an assistant professor is deeply regretted by the University and by the engineers in particular. However, it is the same old stery: a good man poor salary, a better offer, and then his resignation. The same thing happened last year when Prof. Arthur Canfield resigned to accept an offer at Ann Arbor. University professors must look after material interests like the rest of humanity. We can not blame them for this, but we do blame the state for not offering them better inducements. It is time the University should cease being a training school to supply other colleges with professors. Kaussa, herself, needs the best talent.
Several changes are needed in the constitution of the Athletic Association, but the most important one should be concerning the business manager of the football team. At present he is the busiest man connected with the team. His work begins early in the spring and does not end until after the Thanksgiving game. He must make a good schedule, look after the training table, and be responsible for the team. In short, he supplies all the motive power. It takes a competent business man to do all of this, yet the constitution nowhere says anything about paying the manager for his time or even guarantees him his actual expenses. What is the result? It usually leads to the appropriation of a part of the gross receipts. To be sure it is a legitimate theft, if such a thing can be, yet it should not be necessary. The constitution ought to supply the remedy by putting the manager on a reasonable salary or allowing him a certain per cent of the profits.
This year the students seem to be unusually interested in national political issues. Everyone approves of this, to be sure, but it might be better if they would also give some attention to the practical side of politics. The University needs more money to pay its teachers. It also needs a building for a gymnasium and museum. The State legislature has
the power to supply those needs. The question then is how to influence the legislature. Of course there are not enough votes in school to elect a single representative, but there are several hundred votes, and fortunately they are well scattered over the state. University men are influential, and if every voter, no matter what party he claims, would tell his representative that in return for his support he expected something for K. U., the next legislature would appropriate more money for the University than it ever had before.
A number of subscribers have complained about not receiving their papers. The trouble has been that a large number of the students did not leave their new addresses at the WEEKLY office. The postoffice has corrected the list and we hope there will be no more trouble.
Good for the Freshmen
The fight is on. Friday morning when the students came on the hill, they saw in big white figures, '04 on the stand tower, where '03 had been the night before. The Freshmen showed their warlike spirit in inviting a fight, and it now remains to see what the Sophs will do. This is not against the ruling that the faculty made of painting on University grounds. Go to, naughty three.

All fall K. U. politicians have been figuring on offices in the Athletic Association. Very little real interest in the matter, however, developed until Monday of this week. By that time the rank and file of the association began to wonder who were running for places on the board.
Board For Coming Year Elected Tuesday
November 20th Unchanged
ATHLETIC ELECTION.
The names of Fones, Emery, Barcus and Nichols were announced, and for a time it seemed there was no opposition Monday, however, some one scattered the report that these men were pledged to support some one for football manager.
A number who are supporting Harshberger for the place objected to this, and they immediately proceeded to get out another ticket. But the ticket never appeared. The four who had been nominated, together with their friends, emphatically denied that they had any one especially in view for manager. This satisfied the opposition and the matter was dropped.
There are a number of possibilities for next eats football manager. The election of the board is usually equivalent to electing the manager, but this year such is not the case. The board is entirely unpledged, and every one has an equal show. The only thing that can be definitely said is that the next manager will be a barb
At the meeting of the association Tuesday noon very little was done except holding the election. Dean Green called the association to order when about 40 members were present. All the officers seemed to have gone to see the parade, for the secretary, treasurer and all committee chairmen were absent. Their reports were therefore omitted.
But one ticket was placed in nomination, and the secretary pro tem, C J Hindman, was instructed to cast the vote of the Association for the candidates.
